There are tiny bugs closely related to spiders living in the pores of your face. They have long been considered mere passengers, doing no harm beyond upsetting the squeamish. But they may be causing an ancient skin disease that is estimated to affect between 5 and 20 per cent of people worldwide, and 16 million in the US alone.
People aged between 30 and 60, especially women, sometimes develop rosacea: red inflamed skin, with swelling, roughness and fine, visible blood vessels, usually in the central zone of the face. Severe cases can resemble acne, irritate the eyes and lead to the bulbous red nose seen in caricatures of the elderly.
The disease affects all races but is known as the "curse of the Celts" as it is thought to especially affect people with very fair skin, although it may simply be more visible on their skin.

Mite be bugs crapping on yer face, which understandably objects to the insult, and seek out a physician, if you can find one willing to see you, about a round of tetracycline antibiotics to slay the scourge.
Yup.
Buy bulk black walnut husk, and extract it into vodka over the course of 3 weeks or so in a cool place —agitate it every coupla days.
Or make a tea.
Drink 3-5 ml of that right b4 bed until it’s all gone —could even take 3 months, but it works.
You can also use wormwood.
wormwood
black walnut husk
pau d’arco
papaya seeds
grapefruit seed oil
There are others, also. I haven’t tried all of them, but it all works.
All of these are natural antihelmenic agents WAAAAY easier on your liver than the crazy stuff a doctor will give you.
Also free.
Free vodka? Where!?
It’s also called demodectic mange or red mange in dogs....
No. But you will likely wipe out the eubacteria in your gut which help you.
Then if afterwards you don't take probiotics (90% of doctors won't breathe a single word about them to you) you'll be perfectly primed for total take-over by candida albicans or some fungus.
Then if any doctor "gets it" after some years of worthless and expensive office visits he'll put you on a very powerful and expensive anti-fungal that will hurt your liver and probably not wipe out the bug.
Your original aim was ending your rosacea, but now you're poor and WAY less healthy than before. The guys who didn't help you? They're richer absolutely feel like they saved you.
I’d think a quick round of ABs would be swifter and much less trouble, and I do know some avoid them like the plague but moderate use is almost always fine.
Dermatologists tried to turn rosacea into a disease; and the public revolted finding rosacea occasionally attractive. Desperate, the industry is trying to make people think gross things when they think of rosacea. Even if people don’t buy the mite feces hypothesis, the thought of facial feces alone will make people be turned off at the thought of rosacea.
Famous victims of rosacea include Princess Diana, Bill Clinton, W.C. Fields, Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey, and oh, yes... FREAKING SANTA CLAUS!!! I don’t yet, but I won’t be shocked if I get it.
Buy black walnut husk? They are all over my driveway right now. What a mess.
Ah, Swimmer, all this time we thought it was the booze but it turns out you were full of chit. Hey, wait a minute, we thought that too! Nevermind
Yes, and for others who need to look it up, Candida albicans causes yeast infections, thrush, canker sores, leaky gut syndrome, and more.
Dermatologists are also trying to make freckles sound like a disease. “Conjunctival Melanocytic Lesions.”
Sure, and here I was thinking
it was caused by too much sun
and too much drinking.
Yes, it’s toxic. DO NOT feed any to a dog or horse —it will almost surely kill them, as they are MUCH more sensitive to it.
There are some who say you should not take husk or wormwood everyday for more than 3 months, and I am one of them.
Eh...I think that is why I heard they no longer permit the importation of some types of Absinthe, which gets it’s green tincture from Wormwood, which technically IS toxic.
But I mean line ANY of these up against your standard “legit” Rx antifungal medication and they’re pussycats (but they work).
Thanks!
